When you look at the world around you, what do you see? A woman named Martha saw the needs of her guests. Her sister, Mary, saw a very different greater need. 2,000 years later we are still talking about it.
Six
days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from
the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha
served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet
with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of
the perfume. John 12:1-3
How does your sacrifice appear to others? The act of giving to God can (and should) involve
sacrifice. What do you have to give? Money? Possessions? Time? Self – heart, mind, body, and soul?
How you give honors Jesus. How are you giving? Give your best every day.
